WRPS HQ project (200 Frederick St, Kitchener)

Noooooo, don't ruin the wonderful brutalism!

Well, that's the conundrum.  My understanding is that the building is well regarded for its architecture.  I'm not sure how to balance that with public perceptions of WRPS (one is not expecting a warm hug, but still....).  Although, as I said before, it may not even be an issue.  Heck, even refreshed landscaping will help.    

Although additional windows might be good,  I''m pretty sure I wouldn't be advocating for "coloured siding" (perhaps that was intended to be tongue in cheek?).  

Supposed to colour match that intestine outside.

Though when I said colour, I probably should have said "shading". There must be a way to make it look less imposing, though, I guess if it's a police station, you are ruining the whole point.

But for sure, add some windows. Should be interesting to see what they do.
